Camp Augusta Looking for Kitchen Manager – On A Mission at Nevada City, California Full Time

At Camp Augusta, we love food (fresh, organic, often local, from-scratch food) just as much as we love our community, and we’re seeking a Kitchen Manager with a heart big enough to hold both. Simultaneously a leader and a follower, the Kitchen Manager supports the Camp Augusta community by providing healthy, tasty meals to campers and staff throughout the summer. They are responsible for planning and delivering 3 meals and one snack per day, along with managing the kitchen staff team (A Director and seven kitchen assistants). Their duties include cooking, food ordering, budgeting, inventory, ensuring health standards compliance, staff supervision, and scheduling, and creating and documenting kitchen processes. The successful candidate has multiple years of cooking and supervisory experience in a professional cooking environment. 

We believe that food service is an integral part of our camp community. Breaking bread together helps to create a sense of community and comfort. We pledge to provide whole food that is nutritious, healthy, and brimming with flavor! We are committed to providing food services that support a sustainable future. We incorporate the community philosophy of Camp Augusta to maintain and develop a healthy social and working environment:

• We provide meals that are 92-100% organic.
• Everything we serve is freshly prepared from scratch using authentic ingredients.
• Menus and recipes are created by the management team based on feedback from our campers and community.
• The Camp Augusta Kitchen has the unique practice of empowering chefs to make creative decisions in menu planning.
• We use healthy cooking techniques such as steaming, broiling or grilling to maintain the flavor and nutritional value of the food.
• Bread, desserts, and pastries are baked fresh daily.
• We offer vegetarian, nut-resistant, gluten-free, lactose-free, and vegan entrees as nutritional choices when requested at registration.
• We provide sustainable and locally grown produce, chicken, beef and pork whenever possible.
